Always looking for a sign - John 6: 24-35
1 Always looking for a sign,
never seeing what is there,
people searching for some proof
fixing Jesus with a stare.
2 Standing lost and so bemused,
hoping for some broken bread,
Jesus meets their ignorance,
people needing to be fed.
3 Not some massive miracle,
simply trusting given grace,
this the message that they heard,
and they saw within his face.
4 And today that look survives,
all our needs are felt and met,
hope is spoken to each life,
love will live and not forget.
